What Makes Group Counseling So Effective

Group counseling is a kind of therapy, which posits that people help each other with their shared experiences. Very often group counseling is focused on a specific issue, for example anger management or obsessive-compulsive disorder. While a counselor usually manages group counseling, communicating between the other members in the group are considered as a plus because all in the group share similar problems.

One of the main principals is the idea that dealing with specific problems often may cause isolation, and a feeling that one is alone in facing his/her issues. The group attempts to counteract this isolation by meeting people with similar problems. Additionally, knowing other people with similar issues can be comforting to each individual, who may not have access in their own friends and family to people with the same issues.

Group counseling may be highly organized, with people doing special activities together and then sharing the results. Alternately, it may be more free form, where people share current problems related to the group’s theme. One person’s verbal contributions to a group might be validated, discussed, and provoke problem solving by the other group members in the session. It might also be an entry into a discussion regarding a certain aspect of an condition or illness that is then primarily led by the counselor.

DIY Car wash

We usually forget that our vehicles also need to “shower”.  During the winter, ice and salt damage your beloved car’s paint job. In the spring, dirt and pollen can pile up on the car, giving it an old look. To keep your vehicle clean, the only solution is to get your cleaning equipment out and give your auto a good car wash. However, some people may have accidentally given your cars a couple of scratches in the process. When it comes the time to wash your car. Being gentle to your auto and using high quality, soft products is actually the best way to wash your car.

Body

Initial rinse: First rinse the car with the hose to get rid of as much debris as possible before washing the car. Pay attention to areas like the tires and windshield wipers, where there’s usually a lot of buildup dirt.
Clean: Fill a bucket with water and car wash soap, and the other with clean water. While washing the car, dunk your wash mitt into the soapy-water bucket, wipe a small section, and then rinse the mitt into the clear-water to get rid of the dirt.
You should start the cleaning from the top and working your way down, scrub your car. Don’t press too hard because you could cause scratches.
After you've cleaned one section of your auto, rinse it with the water hose before moving on to another. This will prevent the soap from drying and staining the paint. It is important to keep the car wet, so that the water doesn’t dry and leave water spots.
Final Rinse: Start a gentle rinse of the vehicle by taking off the spray nozzle from the hose and using a gentle water flow instead of a full-on blast. If the water pressure is too high, it can cause damage to the auto. Keep the hose close to the car and rinse from top to bottom.

Wheels

Spray the wheels with a hose. A soft brush is the best cleaning tool for your car's wheels. If you’re going to use a mitt or sponge, make sure it’s not the same one you’ll be using on the rest of the car, as the wheels have the most dirt and grime, which can scratch the paint. You can use an old toothbrush to get into the smallest corners of the wheels.
Rinse thoroughly with a stronger water pressure from a spray nozzle.

Drying

Try to dry the car quickly to avoid water spots. A clean, microfiber towel is best to prevent scratches. The microfiber lets the towel retain about seven times its own weight in water, so you don’t need that many. Spread the towel out flat on the car and wipe the surface to pick up water drops.  This way, you can avoid swirls on the paint job.
